AOS8 with new controller

‎01-12-201812:00 PM

We just purchased 2 new controllers to replace our existing ones. We also purchased a MM to go along with it. The new controllers came on version 5.x. Do I need to use the migration tool to upgrade them to 8.x even though they don't have any configuration (except mgmt IP) yet? Or can I just upload the 8.x code to them and reboot to the other partition?

If there's no config to preserve, you would just upgrade them to 8 and re-run the startup wizard to point them at the MM. From there, outside of their IP address and info like that, the config comes from the MM.
